Google Pixel 10 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S22

Our Verdict: The main technical reasons to pick Google Pixel 10 Pro are the larger 6.3-inch screen, the sharper 497ppi display and a 42MP front camera. Samsung Galaxy S22 asks for less as a SIM-free buy, coming in at £149.99 rather than £564.99. That leaves Google Pixel 10 Pro ahead for specs, while Samsung Galaxy S22 has the clearer price argument.

The S22 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £397 over a typical contract, £238 less than the Pixel 10 Pro.
